Chapter 101 - Promise

Just as Lucas was about to fumble his way through another excuse, a loud voice suddenly cut through the guild hall.

"Oi! It's him! Thei ice storm guy!"

Lucas blinked, momentarily saved by the interruption. A small girl with wild, fiery red hair and a mischievous grin rushed toward him. She wore a short, battle-worn adventurer's tunic, and a large satchel bounced against her hip as she ran.

Lucas squinted at her, confused. Who the hell is this?

The girl stopped right in front of him, her crimson eyes sparkling with excitement. "You're the guy! The one who did the crazy attack! And the even weirder magic defense!" she practically shouted, drawing the attention of several adventurers nearby.

Lucas frowned. "Wait… what?"

Lena raised an eyebrow at the sudden commotion, while Sarah sighed, already rubbing her temples.
